Carolyn, They are elusive aren't they. OK. google <collingwood site:marinersrecords.nsw.gov.au> you can put passenger surnames, ship names, mariners names in that one but you have to google. I hope you find them this time. Cheers.

Hello, All, I *have* 'done my homework' and spent days on trying to discover this family's movements, on which ship they came, from where etc. Names: George and Charlotte SHEPHARD. It appears that an unnamed daughter was born 3 Jun, 1859 at Summerhill, Georgiana (near Rockley N.S.W.) and registered on 1 Aug, 1859. Given that they presumably spent some time travelling from Sydney to Bathurst (if, indeed they actually landed in Sydney?), their date of arrival must be well before Jun, 1849. I cannot discover the name of the ship on which they travelled: perhaps they were "unassisted" passengers? Could sks please advise me as to where to go from here? Best wishes, Carolyn. Bathurst. P.S. Just a thought: was there ever a ship called "Collingwood" arriving about that time?

Hi Fellow Listers! If someone out there has the CD for Passengers Arriving 1826-1837 would it be possible for you to please do a look up for me? The ship I'm interested in is the "Ann Lockerby" arrived 23.12.1836 The family is STEWART I know they're on this ship as I found them in the index. I would like to know where they are from and other other details that may be available. Many Thanks In Advance Karen

Hello Susan, >From Charles Bateson's the convict ships The Princess Charlotte (1) Ship, 400t, built at Sunderland in 1812, Class E1 arrived 09 11 1824 VDL(Hobart) Sailed 09 07 1824 from Downs, via Rio, passage 123days Embarked 140 male prisoners, landed 140 male prisoners.

Carolyn, Don't get too fixed on occupations. My John Clakre on the Admiral Boxer in 1857 was sponsored as a gardener. On the 1841 British census there was no occupation, 1847 on his first wife's death certificate he was a greengrocer, 1851 British census, he was a clerk in a sloicitors office, on the different Victorain birth death marraige certificates of his,his secoond wife and his children his occupation ranges from cook, miner, general servant, labourer.

Good day everyone, Could you please let me know about "Princess Charlotte" convict ship to Hobart 1824, if you know anything- passenger lists, crew, convicts on board, captain, surgeon, description of vessel etc.- or where I can find this info? Thankyou Kind regards, Susan NSW.

Hi Carolyn, I think I sent you the information from Log of Logs, by Ian Nicholson, re SS Sarah Sands.? An article from The London Times re sailing of Sarah Sands. States; Liverpool Saturday to-day, at about 2pm, the screw steam auxiliary ship Sarah Sands took her departure hence for Australia. Nearly all her berths were taken, and, after touching at Queenstown, it is expected she will have her full compliment of passengers. Besides the mails and a valuable cargo, she takes out a large quantity of specie. There is no records for her arrival at Melbourne on the Victorian State Records, which I thought would be there! http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/default.htm The Sarah Sands arrived Sydney, from State Records NSW 1852 Dec 29 SARAH SANDS STEAMER Page 183 1841_1866 A couple of other "tad bits" found Capt./ Master W.C. Thompson of Sarah Sands mentioned on arrivals in America http://www.immigrantships.net/v3/1800v3/sarahsands18490502.html http://www.maritimeheritage.org/PassLists/ss050550.html interestingly, there is a Mr & Mrs Wilson in the passenger list.

She carried approx. 300 passengers. Launched in Sep.1846 by James Hodgson & Co, Liverpool (engines by Bury, Curtis & Kennedy, Liverpool) for Sands & Co. Originally intended for the UK - Australia service, she was instead chartered to the Red Cross Line of sailing packets for an experimental service between Liverpool and New York. Her maiden voyage started from Liverpool on 20th Jan.1847 and she arrived in New York 21 days later. On her third voyage starting on 15th June, she broke some of her valve gearing while 5 days out and returned to Cork under sail for repairs. Eventually sailing on 23rd June and arriving New York after a voyage of 34 days from Liverpool. Her last Liverpool - New York voyage commenced 18th Oct.1849 and from there, she sailed for San Francisco via Cape Horn under charter to Empire City Line and was used on the San Francisco - Panama service. In late 1851 she sailed for Liverpool via Valparaiso and Rio de Janeiro and made two more Liverpool - New York voyages during 1852. On 18th Sep.1852 she sailed Liverpool - Cape Town - Sydney for the Melbourne Gold Mining Association and then returned to Plymouth. On 21st Jul.1853 she started sailings between Liverpool, Quebec and Montreal and between Liverpool and Portland for Canadian Steam Nav. Co, making eight round voyages on these routes. Taken over as a Crimea War transport in 1855 and in 1857 was used to convey troops from Portsmouth to Calcutta for the Indian Mutiny. On 11th Nov.1857 she caught fire off Mauritius, the troops were transferred to another ship and she sailed home after temporary repairs. Reconditioned as a sailing ship, she was eventually wrecked on 7th Apr.1869 on the Laccadive Islands, Indian Ocean. [North Atlantic Seaway, vol.1 by N.R.P.

Hi, Marg, I had to ask the person who sent me the photocopy to transcribe it for me because the print was so faint. This is what she said: Name of Seaman: John WILSON. No. of Register Ticket: 564838 Capacity: Cook Date of Entry: 18 or 28 Sept, 1852 Date of Discharge: 2 June, 1853 Place of Discharge: Liverpool wriiten as Lpool Certificate dated 3 June, 1853 This ship left Cork for Melbourne early in 1852. John WILSON's Certificate of Character dated at Liverpool 3 Jun, 1853. Signed: W Ilsly, Master of the Ship William (could be SCOTT), Shipping Master. I remember being able to read the ship's name and it was "Sarah Sands." This relative doubts that it is "our" John WILSON, because he is a Railway Porter on his marriage certificate, a shop owner in the 1851 Census (Lancs) and now a cook on a ship. He is not listed as crew and is supposed to have travelled to Aus with his wife Mary and sons William Henry and John. Don't tell me this is yet another "family story" or wrong information !!!!

Hi listers, A friend has just advised me that they have a book which details the passengers and crew on the voyage of the Ortranto from Australia to UK in 1951. It also includes all ports of call so presumabley may include names of those disembarking or boaarding at the different ports. If anyone is interested I can arrange contact advice. Robyn in Wodonga

Hello, All, Hoping for a little help here. I have a print out of our ancestor's "Certificate of Character" when he was employed as a Cook on the above ship. His name was John WILSON. It appears from the image (which is a photocopy and very faint) that the ship left Liverpool UK in Sep, 1852 and arrived on 2 Jun, 1853. Afraid I can't read any other details, but I'm wondering why the voyage took so long, when the usual time seems to have been about 3 months + or minus? I would greatly appreciate anything further SKS could tell me. Apparently John's wife and 2 small boys were on the ship as well. Would there be a Passenger List? I think they paid their way, but John decided to work as a cook. TIA, Carolyn. Bathurst.

Hi Sylvia I would look on the State Records of NSW website, a link to "Assisted Immigrants Arriving Sydney and Newcastle 1844-1859", use the search facility. There are listings for John Mitchell, no John Albert Mitchell, which would make it hard to know if one of the entries is your John Albert Mitchell and the ages may not fit, but it is worth a look. There is no listing for John Mitchell in "Unassisted Immigrants". I would apply for his Death Certificate or a transcript of his Death Certificate from one of the Transcription Agents. Death Certificates from the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages cost $24.00 and a transcript would cost approx. $15.00. A Death Certificate would probably list where he was born and how long he had lived in "the Colony", but you would need to know approximately when he died and preferably where he died, because there is a long list of deaths of John Mitchell on the NSW Registry of BDM website. Another website to try is "Mariners and Ships in Australian Waters" http://mariners.records.nsw.gov.au/ Another website to check is "The Ships' List" at http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/passengerlists/ and search the "Australia Lists". I hope someone else has some ideas for you.
